Peanut is still too small to sex. All baby torts look female, and that's where Peanut is now. (The shell looks fine!)

I did think he would be. Just out of curiosity how old from can you sex them from?
Thanks for your help though.

It can take up to the age of 7(the usual age of sexual maturity) or until you start seeing that tail getting longer lol, if he starts flashing, you’ll know haha

Sometimes you can tell sooner but that’s a ballpark of how long it can potentially take😊
Zola was only 4, I think - he didn't actually flash, but tried to mate with his dad's hand - he was "helping" his dad on his desk, and his dad had his hand over the computer mouse, when Zola climbed up on his hand, and started bouncing and squeaking !! His dad called me, wondering what on earth was going on, and when I was able to stop laughing, I informed him that Zola was a boy!
